3. After viewing the above booth, I heard someone shout, "JENNY?!" and it was my friend Krystal Boney, pictured here with Manolo Valdés, Helene I - Gustav Klimt Judith, bogéna galerie. We hadn't seen each other in 5 years! And we ended up walking the entire fair together (even though she'd gotten there earlier and had seen most of it already) and it was so great. <3 Running into friends is always the best part about Expo!
